At Wendover we were able to try out our marquee for the first time and managed to give a comprehensive display of how a Chiltern chair is made. This included demos of cleaving, shaving, turning, bottoming, steam bending, and assembly; Ted gave a running commentary and we attracted quite a crowd ( at least until the hail storm came along! ).
Robin Fawcett also gave a workshop/demo on turning a honey drizzler and Stuart King brought his cast iron treadle lathe which was put to good use making wooden flowers which were popular with the punters. Roger Figg the stick maker showed the process of straightening and bending the tops of walking sticks.
Many thanks to all who helped make this an enjoyable and worthwhile day.
